The red Milwaukee 46" from HD is a SCREAMING deal...unless someone convinces me it isn't.  More than enough for my needs and extremely useful.

I like the Milwaukee box but I don't like all the dead space on top. I would rather have more drawers.

I'm thinking the 1,200 lb. rating on Zoro's website might be an error. From Lista's website,

"Heavy-duty casters (1,200 lbs. each). That's as much as 4,800 lbs. of capacity per toolbox for single and double banks, and 7,200 lbs. of capacity for triple banks and two-bays!"

I'm not 100% sure this is the case here, but 1,200 lb. per caster with a total load rating of 4,800 lb. would make sense if it has 440 lb. rated drawers.

That looks correct. you could upgrade the casters and put another 1K lbs in it.

So much so that I've never heard of either of them! That said, I don't wrench all day nor need/want a rollaround bigger than a yugo...

There are different grades of tool boxes:

Throw-away tool boxes: Walmart,
Home-Owner tool boxes: HD, Lowes, Sears
Professional tool boxes: Snap On, Matco, MAC, etc, fancy looking stuff off tool trucks catering mostly auto mechanics,
Industrial tool boxes: Lista, Vidmar, Lyon, well built, heavy duty, often used by the military too.

It's not the width or the height that matters, it's the depth and sheetmetal gauge.   My Lyon/Lista boxes are 28" deep.
